Apparently, mouthwashes containing the ingredient chlohexadine can cause a serious risk for stroke and heart attacks. Who knew?

My recommendation is to wash your mouth out with a good stiff shot of whiskey..be sure to swish it around really good. No need to spit it out either, just swallow...there, problem solved.:playful:

OG......wait a while......what's going to kill us today will be fine in their next research study.
Seems like that's the way it goes these days or how I see it anyway.:lost:

Your idea sounds much better than those mouthwashes.:eek:kay:
 

Well, Di...I guess that shoots a hole in my theory...the article said we need the bacteria in the mouth to produce nitrates in the blood. So the next time you encounter someone with bad breath, congratulate them on their nitrate level.:playful:
 
Casper, you've got that right for sure as far as waiting goes. As much as I would like the whiskey substitute to work, I think I'm dead in the water on that one. Except, you may still have a stroke or heart attack, you just won't care.

ETA..Casper, sorry I looked at your avatar and I thought you were Jilly..getting tired, time for me to go off to bed now:eek:nthego:
 
Yeah, Casper I did go to bed, but my eyeballs have other ideas. I keep my Touchpad on my night stand for just such occasions.
Shooting pains in my legs from sciatica has something to do with it. If I do 4-5 hours I'm good.

It's 12:35 am..it's early for me most nights.

You gals are going to get the guys all hot and bothered with this, you realize ...

Except me, of course - I'm a monk. :eek:

I do like the whiskey idea. Whiskey is a great multi-tasker: mouthwash, numbing agent, pour it on a snake bite, drink it for a snake bite, etc etc:)

I agree, and don't forget you can also give it to the snake to drink.

I am sick to death of a lifetime of "chicken little the sky is falling" if you eat, drink or inject something.

All this Cry Wolf got me to the point, years ago, where I don't pay much attention, unless we're talking GMO's -- I have no doubt is wreaking havoc.

Yeah, yeah.....drink it if you see a picture of a snake, drink it if you're in the same country as a snake. It's all good!

That is exactly why it is considered better; more alcohol, less taste!

I thought it was because it supposedly covers the fact that you've been drinking when you confront a law officer ... but it will still fail a breathalyzer test. Maybe it's just for deceiving your friends and family ...

Now if it's mixed with orange juice or is part of a Long Island Iced Tea (which I used to drink like water), then I have no complaints. ;)
 
Lets say 25 years ago nobody used mouthwash to the extent that it is used today and their breaths was just fine.
A toothbrush and toothpaste works just as fine,doesnt it?
 
Listerine was originally used, among other things, as a floor cleaner and as a cure for gonorrhea.

Yes, there are some things that even I will not put in my mouth ... :nevreness:
 
When we are born somebody ought to slap a label on our ass with the following:

Warning: Living may be hazardous to your health

Over the years I've seen people who lived like saints die young and people who did everything wrong and lived to a ripe old age.

I think a lot of it is in our genetic makeup and probably doesn't matter what you do or don't do! and then ask me later and I might think something else.
